Oh, to be in Spain. Running with the bulls. World's best tomato fight. And now the festival of Els Enfarinats, in the town of Ibi near Alicante, Spain. For 200 years the inhabitants of Ibi annually have celebrated with a battle of flour, eggs and firecrackers, outside the city town hall. The tradition, which took place Friday, involves people in military dress staging a mock coup d'etat. (AP Photo/Alberto Saiz) less

Revelers in fancy dress walk toward the battle of Enfarinats, a flour fight in celebration of the Els Enfarinats festival on Friday in Ibi, Spain. Citizens of Ibi annually celebrate the festival with a battle using flour, eggs and firecrackers. The battle takes place between two groups, a group of married men called 'Els Enfarinats' which take the control of the village for one day pronouncing a whole of ridiculous laws and fining the citizens that infringe them and a group called 'La Oposicio' which try to restore order. At the end of the day the money collected from the fines is donated to charitable causes in the village. The festival has been celebrated since 1981 after the town of Ibi recovered the tradition but the origins remain unknown. (Photo by David Ramos/Getty Images) less
